Frank, Several good points here.

Mc Donalds never seems to miss, do they? They can't afford to even have the image of a slow location. That's why they get what they do for franchises.

It seems to me that a nat'l event track like St. Louis must have to charge a pretty penny for rental. Possibly why we saw the early date this time..
There are plenty of "lesser" 1/4 mi. tracks that that can hold 2-300 cars...Look at the Midwest guys' tracks.

Dates..When we rented WHMP, Phx. we had a real good date , I felt. ..By the time of the race, there were free car shows and other sports events and draws all over the city. We didn't lose any money but didn't make enough to warrant the time spent and the gamble.
That event cured me of trying to promote an event at a Supertrack, in a large city.

I think you can add a few related categories that will bring in a few spectators. If you guys remember, the USCN 1 had the Nostalgia Super Stock boys brought in ,and also Top Stock..I don't think many S/S racers will complain about that.
Give the N/SS guys a free tech card, but charge any of their crew or fans, a spectator fee. ..Let them collect their own pay out amongst themselves.

2 or 3 shots at making some $$$ are a great idea.. Better than NHRA, where you could be done and off the radar by Friday afternoon.


Keep the ideas coming..
